Mourinho eyes Premier League return

Jose Mourinho claims he is a "London Blue", but his ties to Chelsea would not prevent him from taking on any management job in the Premier League.

Mourinho is currently enjoying success as Real Madrid boss, having led them to La Liga glory last term, but he is eyeing a return to England in the future.

He has been linked with a host of management jobs, Manchester United and Manchester City among them, and he is ready to return to a country he left in 2007 when parting company with Chelsea amid reports of a rift with club owner Roman Abramovich.

"When I speak about it in Spain, they turn my words immediately," Mourinho told Sky Sports News. "But I cannot deny what is clear in my mind - after Real Madrid, England. That's for sure. But I keep saying the same - I know clearly that it's where I want to be."

Asked about his ties to Chelsea, Mourinho said: "I'm Blue - I'm a London Blue - but I am a professional."
